School districts all over the country are shutting down temporarily to deal with the COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak. The idea behind the shutdown is a concept called "social distancing," keeping people out of cramped quarters so it is harder for the virus to jump from person to person. The reality of the situation could present an opportunity for some businesses that have been hit hard by the outbreak.
Schools from Los Angeles to Atlanta and many areas in between are shutting down effective immediately, with many districts out for at least two weeks if not more. Classes will continue with the help of Alphabet's Google Classroom product and other tech, but these kids are going to have a lot of free time on their hands.
